In March 2023, The Albert Hunt Trust contributed funds towards our Community Engagement role who helps to organise activities, engages with local residents, groups and organisations. This ensures that our programme is need led and responsive to the community.
As an independent charity, we depend on funding to keep our doors open year in, year out. Here is a list of some successful funding bids we have secured. Bids take a long time to put together and maintain, it’s a never-ending process of applying and monitoring, but without this vital work, we would not be here. We want to thank all our funders, particularly the ones below for their continued support, and the trust they put in Park Farm Community Centre to deliver projects for our community.
